hmm....the router is seeing the desktop when it's plugged into it...what's the dealio? i wonder if the usb modem is conflicting with the NIC....try plugging into the router with the desktop...and unplug the modem...then do the ipconfig /release /renew stuff...

[ZpoonZ]

OK, LOTS of progress! nearly there now!


so far:
installed SP2
rebooted

installed the network fix suggested on that page
made the registry change
rebooted

change network adapter connection type to auto-negotiation/full duplex 10BaseT/full duplex 100BaseT (i've changed it back to auto-negotiation now)

and: "Reset your TCP/IP stack by downloading and running WinsockXPFix.exe a Visual Basic program designed to fix corrupted TCP/IP issues, host file problems and a variety of other connectivity issues."

FINALLY i've gotten it semi working!

OK, so now it assigns IP address no problem. on the router config screen (still accessed from the laptop) i can now see both computers, with their respctive names, rather than 'unknown-' and my MAC address.

i can't access the router config screen from the desktop still, but it's not timing out any more, it just sits there!

on the laptop, from the command line i can ping the desktop but i get packet loss. anything from 0% to 100%
same on the desktop, i can ping the laptop, but i get random amounts of packet loss. from 0% to 100%.

from the desktop do a tracert on the laptop (from the laptop do a tracert on the desktop)

to do a tracert do
start > run > cmd > tracert <ip address of other computer>

and post the results

[ZpoonZ]

it's back to not being able to acquire a network address now.

by the way, my new ISP is up and running now. so i can only connect from my laptop via the new modem/router.
i really need to get this working! i'm stumped.

[dsenette]

...i was thinking that the modem was screwing up the connection...being that you were trying to connect with the modem AND the router...COMPLETELY uninstall that modem...and remove any of it's corresponding network connections in your network neighborhood

edit: did i just say network neighborhood....how old is that?!?!...jeebus "network connections" under the properties of "my network places"

[ZpoonZ]

ok, after trying a load of times it finally got an IP address.
here are two route traces to the router itself:

[dsenette]

what did you type to do that trace? the ip of the other computer or the ip of the router?

[ZpoonZ]

the ip of the router.

[dsenette]

do the same tracert from each computer...but put the other computer's ip address in (ie from the laptop do tracert <ip of desktop>) of course...do this with both machines connected to said router

[ZpoonZ]

please note that the IPs are reversed today! (i.e. laptop IP is now x.x.x.65, and desktop is now x.x.x.64)

[dsenette]

can the two ping each other?

also now that the desktop has an ip..can it connect to the internet?

[ZpoonZ]

same thing as yesterday. anything between 0 and 100% loss.
i just tried pinging each other and got 75% loss (219ms) from the desktop to the lap, and 50% loss (1ms) from the laptop to the desk.

still can't connect to internet from desk.
when i tried to connect to routed config, the title came up in the very top of the window of my browser (on the bit above the menu bar) but it just sits there and doesn't go any further. it doesn't say 'cannot connect' it just sits there forever.

[dsenette]

Please try WinsockFix. Once run, reboot and test your connection.

If that fails, please goto Start, Run, type CMD, press 'OK', then type the following commands:

• netsh winsock reset catalog
• netsh int ip reset reset.log

Reboot and test.
